The design concept of Wedgwood's "Historical Teapot" series is to carefully select six of the most representative teapots from the various shapes of teapots produced between the 18th and 19th centuries, and shrink them down to make "miniature versions of historical teapots". Wedgwood uses the world's exclusive jade relief craftsmanship to produce historical small pots with unique shapes.

Wedgwood「歷史小壺」系列作品的設計理念，是將其十八/十九世紀間生產的各種造型壺中，精心挑選出六款最具代表性的茶壺，加以縮小製成"歷史茶壺小型版"。Wedgwood以全球獨家的碧玉浮雕工藝技術，所製作的歷史小壺個個造形獨特。

Wedgwood Jasperware:
Josiah Wedgwood, the founder of Wedgwood, was not only an outstanding potter and artist, but also a scientist full of experimental spirit. In 1774, after thousands of experiments and research and development, Josiah Wedgwood finally developed the material that Wedgwood is proud of, a semi-precious stone material - Jasperware. The name of Jasperware is also directly derived from its main ingredient, emerald. Today, Jasper is still Wedgwood's unique secret ingredient. The patterns of its jasper reliefs are mainly based on Greek and Roman mythology. Whether it is basic or complex patterns, it still inherits the ancient production methods. Each piece is handmade by professionally trained craftsmen. Jasperware is different from ordinary porcelain products. It has unique collection value and has long become a key treasure in museums around the world.

Wedgwood 的創辦人 Josiah Wedgwood，不只是一位傑出的陶藝家與藝術家，更是一名充滿了實驗精神的科學家；在1774年，Josiah Wedgwood 歷經了千百次的試驗研發，終於發展出Wedgwood引以為豪的素材，一種半寶石材質 ─ Jasperware；而Jasperware的命名也是直接來自於它的主要成份，綠寶石。今天，Jasper仍舊是Wedgwood獨步全球的神秘配料，其碧玉浮雕的圖案以希臘羅馬神話為主；無論是基本或是複雜的圖紋，仍承襲著古老的製作方法，每一件皆由受過專業訓練的工藝師以手工製作而成，Jasperware不同於一般性的瓷器商品，具有獨特的收藏價值，早已成為全世界博物館的重點館藏寶物。
